MEET MARMITE

Marmite is a sweet Shetland who was rescued in 2023.
He was rescued from slaughter and thank goodness he is safe now!
Marmite is a very clever pony who loves snack and showing off

This is Marmite, we rescued him from slaughter in winter 2023, at first he was very quiet, but soon started showing his cheeky side! He would bite for no reason, and would rear and lunge at the person who was handling him, either biting them or striking with his front hooves. We've done a lot of work with marmite to address his behaviour, we realised that he needed to have lots of stimulation, activity and interaction with other horses. Marmite is very smart, and when he gets bored we noticed his behaviour would change and he would start his old habits. Marmite is one of the bravest pony's at the Rescue and will happily follow you everywhere, he'll even go into the shop and reception to check everything out! Marmites favourite trick is standing on platforms, he'll even stand in the wheel barrow when we're mucking out his stable! We've taught him to pull a cart and he is brilliant at it, although if he gets a little excited he puts in little bucks! He excelles at liberty work and we've even started working on dancing with him. Although you have to watch your knees as he might nip! He's a big character in a small size, everyday is entertaining with marmite!.

Marmite is hoping that you can sponsor him!
He very nearly go slaughtered and we want to make sure he is safe for the rest of his life. A sponsorship would also help us ensure that Marmite continues to have some of the finer things in life, like treats and to help cover the costs involved in keeping this boy happy and healthy.

You can sponsor Marmite for £6.00 a month
and will receive a photo of him and regular updates
